Metropolitan Police Service (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50422721 (15 February 2012)
Summary: The complainant asked the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) to provide information about whether there were any records of complaints about anti-social behaviour at a named address during a specified time period. The MPS refused to confirm or deny whether it held the information falling within the scope of the request, citing the exemption provided by section 40(5)(b)(i) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the -˜FOIA-™). The Information Commissioner finds that confirmation or denial would disclose personal data and that the disclosure of this personal data would be in breach of the first data protection principle. His decision therefore is that the MPS correctly refused the request for information under section 40(5)(b)(i) of the FOIA. The complaint is not upheld and the MPS is not required to take any steps.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
